The University of Tokyo Hospital

More than 30 certified neurosurgeons and one of the strongest brain tumor treatment centers in Asia 

Personalized cancer treatment based on tumor genetic analysis and the latest Japanese technologies 

Unique minimally invasive and robotic surgery for complex and inoperable tumors   

The University of Tokyo Hospital is the leading university hospital in Japan and one of the most technologically advanced medical centers in Asia. Patients with complex diagnoses, rare forms of cancer, and brain tumors come here when world-class treatment, high-precision surgery, or an expert second opinion from leading Japanese professors is required.

The hospital is particularly renowned for its achievements in oncology, neurosurgery, skull base surgery, and the treatment of difficult-to-operate tumors. For each patient, a multidisciplinary team of specialists is assembled to develop an individualized treatment program tailored to the specifics of the disease, the patient’s overall condition, and the molecular characteristics of the tumor.

One of the most sought-after areas among international patients is brain tumor treatment. The clinic performs highly complex surgeries for pituitary tumors, gliomas, meningiomas, skull base tumors, and metastatic brain lesions. Japanese neurosurgeons use advanced navigation systems, neuroendoscopic technologies, radiosurgery, and minimally invasive transnasal approaches, enabling tumor removal with maximum preservation of speech, vision, memory, and other vital functions.

The hospital’s oncology center is considered one of the leading centers in Japan for the treatment of complex and rare forms of cancer. Advanced methods of immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and personalized oncology are actively applied. To select the most effective therapy, genetic tumor analysis is performed, helping to determine the sensitivity of cancer cells to various drugs and improve treatment outcomes.

Particularly popular among international patients are treatment programs for gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, head and neck tumors, and neuro-oncology. Japan is regarded as a world leader in the early diagnosis and conservative treatment of gastric cancer, and the clinic’s specialists are known for their organ-sparing techniques and high-precision minimally invasive surgery.
